Issued Pursuant To The Cooper Companies, Inc.
Second Amended and Restated 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan 
for Non-Employee Directors (the “Plan”)
THIS CERTIFIES that on November 15, 2016, (the “Grant Date”) «FirstName» «MiddleName» «LastName» (the “Holder”) was granted «Shares» («ShareText») shares of the common stock, par value $.10 per share, of The Cooper Companies, Inc. (the “Company”) on a deferred basis and upon and subject to the following terms and conditions (the “Restricted Stock Units” or “RSUs”).
Unless otherwise indicated herein to the contrary, capitalized terms used in this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Plan.
		
	1.
	Restricted Stock Units.  Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, Holder is hereby awarded the right to receive the RSUs as it vests as provided in Section 3 hereof. Unless and until the Shares are actually issued and delivered to the Holder, the Holder shall not by reason of being granted the RSUs be deemed to be a shareholder of the Company. Accordingly, the Holder shall not have any rights to vote any Shares subject to the RSUs, or to receive dividends or any other rights of a shareholder until such Shares have been issued to the Holder.


		
	2.
	Shares.  Once vested the Company shall cause that number of Shares equal to the vested portion of the RSUs to either (i) be issued in the form of a stock certificate (or certificates) representing the shares to be registered in the Holder’s name or (ii) held in book entry form.  


		
	3.
	Vesting.  The RSUs will vest in full on November 15, 2017 (the “Vesting Date”) subject to the provisions of Section 4.


		
	4.
	Termination of Service as Director. The Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to forfeiture if the Holder’s service terminates for Cause or Holder fails to be re-nominated as a Director for Cause prior to the date the Restricted Stock Units are vested. In the event the Holder’s service on the Board ends, other than for Cause, prior to the Vesting Date, the Holder shall receive, on the Vesting Date, a number of shares prorated for the number of full months of service elapsed since the Grant Date and the date the Holder’s service on the Board so ends. 


		
	5.
	Limit on Transfer.  Holder may not sell, transfer, pledge or assign the Restricted Stock Units other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, with the exception that the Holder may, subject to the same conditions and procedures as the Committee may establish, transfer the award for estate or tax planning purposes to trusts in which the Holder has at least a 50% interest or foundations in which the Holder controls the management of the assets, so long as such transfer is without consideration and the trust takes the Restricted Stock Units subject to the same restrictions as the Holder.  


		
	6.
	Representations.  The Committee may require Holder to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that Holder is acquiring the Shares for investment purposes and without a view to distribution thereof.  The Company may condition the delivery of the RSUs upon the listing, registration or qualification of the Shares upon a securities exchange or under applicable securities laws.  The Shares shall be subject to such stock transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which the Stock is then listed and any applicable Federal or state securities law.  The Company may cause a legend to be put on each certificate representing Shares to reflect any of the provisions of this Section 6.


		
	7.
	Continuation of Service is not Implied.  Nothing contained in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer upon the Holder the right to continue to serve as a Director of the Company. 


		
	8.
	Merger, Reorganization, Etc.  In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split or other such change in corporate structure affecting the RSUs, an equitable adjustment

The Committee may authorize and establish such rules, regulations and revisions thereof not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as it may deem advisable.


		
	14.
	Miscellaneous. The grant of RSUs under the Plan is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive a grant of RSUs or benefits in lieu of RSUs in the future.  Future grants of RSUs, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company, including, but not limited to, the timing of the grant, the number of shares of RSUs, and vesting provisions.
